http://athenathon.multiply.com/ Janeiro, 2006. Estacao de Tokyo a noite. Hayate (Shinkansen) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hayate E2 series Hayate at Ueno Station Service typeShinkansen OperatorJR East Line usedTōhoku Shinkansen Maximum speed275 km/h Started2002 Rolling stockE2 Series Shinkansen Hayate (はやて?) is the fastest service on the Tōhoku Shinkansen, and is the only Shinkansen service which goes as far as the current terminus of Hachinohe. It runs at a top speed of 275 km/h between Utsunomiya and Morioka. These services were inaugurated with the opening of the Tōhoku Shinkansen extension to Hachinohe on December 1, 2002. The name "Hayate" has not been used previously on any train service in Japan. The name was chosen with input from the public; roughly translated, it means a strong or violent wind; however, it carries positive connotations of speed and power--ideal for use with a Shinkansen. The Hayate service uses 10-car E2 Series Shinkansen units, with 15 return trips a day operating between Tokyo and Hachinohe, with one return trip between Sendai and Hachinohe. Hayate services are coupled with Komachi services as far as Morioka, where the Komachi cars are uncoupled and proceed to Akita Station via the Akita Shinkansen. Due to the popularity of the quick train service from Tokyo to the Tōhoku region, passengers on both the Hayate and Komachi services must have seat reservations. Yamabiko Shinkansen Japan's main island Honshu is covered by a network of high speed train lines that connect Tokyo with most of the island's major cities and Fukuoka on the island of Kyushu. Japan's high speed trains (bullet trains) are called shinkansen and are operated by the JR (Japan Railways). Yamabiko (Tohoku Shinkansen): The second fastest train category on the Tohoku Shinkansen, running as far as Morioka. Yamabiko trains stop more frequently than Hayate trains.
